This will break if there are spaces in the file name, or other
characters meaningful to the shell.  If you change if to
         xargsproc.append("test -f '%s/{}'&&  md5sum '%s/{}'"
                              % (mydir, mydir))

, then it will only break if there are single quotes in the file name.

And if you do mydir_q = mydir.replace("'", "'\\''") and use mydir_q, you 
should be safe...
